“Give him the heat and announce your presence with authority.”  Famous words from the movie, “Bull Durham”, and an adage your business should embrace.  For Nuke LaLoosh a screaming fastball was the best weapon in his arsenal.  As a business owner, your website is yours.   It is the most powerful way for you to be present for your customers and clients.  Today your customers aren’t always in your store, or on your phone, they probably aren’t even on your website until they need something.  More people than ever are researching and asking questions online.  You very well may have the answers to these questions and you need to let people know that.  A Baton Rouge ad agency is a great way to accomplish this.  A website simply says “I’m here, hope you find me”.  A website with relevant, timely content says, “I’m the authority, here’s your answer”.   

You don’t need a 98 mph fastball to announce your presence.  You simply need the answers to the questions your customers and potential customers are scouring search engines for.  The best way to be “present” is to be present on Google.  So, how do you put your answers, your website, and your company where it can be found on Google?  Simple, you make Google happy.  What makes Google happy?  Making humans happy.  Most of your customers are probably humans, so that works out well.

As an Advertising and Inbound Marketing Agency in Baton Rouge, we are constantly exposed to opportunities that "lock" consumers in a certain package at a certain discount.  We completely understand the partnership opportunity and strategy behind "locking in" an advertiser. There are many benefits to both the advertiser and the media outlet for this type of partnership. 

This article will hopefully help you avoid some advertising cliches. I hope you find it useful.

In our last blog, we discussed the changing and evolving world of search.  Specifically, we asked for your opinion and feedback as it relates to your specific use of the yellow pages. We really appreciate the direct and honest feedback that you provided.  It is always important to continue to stay in tune with the pulse of the community.

The yellow page contracts are up for renewal in the Baton Rouge market.  In several meetings recently, I have been surprised at the dollars that are invested in the print version of the yellow pages.  In many markets, the yellow pages is becoming an "opt-in" consumer choice. In another words, if you are really interested in having the Yellow Pages, you must "opt-in" to have it sent to you.
